For one thing, which you did not mention, when was the last time this
instance was restarted? It is normal to see low cache hit ratios
shortly after a startup. Second did someone do something, like select *
from the largest table, that could have caused the cache to completely
flush? Also do you have something going on that could cause a lot of
full table scane, like bad statistics? There are a lot of other user
level things like this that can cause problems. I have DB's that stay
up for a year at a time & don't have low cache hit ratios without good
cause.

Hi list,
I have a curious problem with my buffer hit ratio on Oracle 8.0.5, Unix
HP
UX 11.0. When I run the following select, I get a hit Rati about 8 %.
select sum(decode(NAME, 'consistent gets',VALUE, 0)) ConsistentGets,
sum(decode(NAME, 'db block gets',VALUE, 0))DBBlockGets,
sum(decode(NAME, 'physical reads',VALUE, 0)) PhysicalReads,
round((sum(decode(name, 'consistent gets',value, 0)) +
sum(decode(name, 'db block gets',value, 0)) -
sum(decode(name, 'physical reads',value, 0))) /
(sum(decode(name, 'consistent gets',value, 0)) +
sum(decode(name, 'db block gets',value, 0))) * 100,2) HitRatio
from sys.v_$sysstat;
Output:
CONSISTENTGETS DBBLOCKGETS PHYSICALREADS HITRATIO
37104235 166477 35109886
5,8
I know the application which works with this instance. I know that hit
ratio
have to be higher, cause application is tuned and there is not much data
in
the database. In other environments (Windows NT) I get buffer hit ratios
about 90 - 99 %. So my question: Is there something on OS-level (HP UX
11.0)
I have to configure to get higher buffer hit ratios?
Here is the environment:
Oracle 8.0.5 on HP UX 11.0
512 RAM
INIT.ORA parameters:
compatible 8.0.0
cpu_count 1
db_block_size 4096
db_block_buffers 50000
shared_pool_size 70000000
hash_area_size 131072
sort_area_size 131072
large_pool_size 0
log_buffer 163840
TIA
